BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.–On Monday night, deputies arrested a man they say is responsible for a recent home invasion.
Willie Krumpton Jr. is facing burglary, kidnapping and armed robbery charges.
On July 23rd, deputies responded to the 1700 block of Black Tom Road in unincorporated Moncks Corner regarding a residential burglary that was in progress. It was reported that there was possibly a hostage in the home with a weapon involved.
The victims reported that they were at home when a black male came onto their porch asking for a fuel can. The victim provided a fuel can to this person.
A short while later, a black male, whom the victim believed to be the same person, burst into the home with a firearm and tied the victims up. He was accompanied by another black male.
The two suspects then went room-to-room in the home looking for valuables and any money.
After taking what they could, they then fled the home in a vehicle.
Responding deputies intercepted the suspect vehicle. The vehicle failed to stop for the deputies.
The suspects bailed on foot and were tracked by BCSO canine units.
Crumpton was located the following day.
